Dolphin, the popular mobile browser, recently released a new version for iPad that integrates Evernote’s Web Clipper technology. This means, for the first time, you can seamlessly clip web pages to Evernote from your iPad, and get the same quality experience as when you use the Evernote Web Clipper on desktop browsers. Add that to Dolphin’s other features, such as tabbed browsing, bookmarks, and customizable gesture-based navigation, and you have a great browsing experience on your iPad.

Clip on the Go

Whether waiting for your plane at the airport or sitting in a coffee shop, you can look up whatever is on your mind, and clip it to Evernote to reference later. Anything from travel information to discounts you discover to information for a research project can be clipped, and Dolphin will format it properly in Evernote where it will be searchable and accessible. Just as with the Evernote Web Clipper, you can specify the destination notebook, and add tags or comments. Additionally, taking advantage of the iPad’s touchscreen, you can annotate your Web Clips to note anything you don’t want to forget.

Working Closely Together

This is the first time a partner has integrated Evernote’s Web Clipper technology to provide the best clipping experience on iPad. Previously, Dolphin had an Evernote plugin available only on Android, but Dolphin heard from the Evernote community that they wanted the full Evernote Web Clipper experience on iPad. “We listened to their feedback, and worked closely with Evernote’s Dev Team to make it happen, and we are very happy with the result,” said Edith Yeung, Head of Corporate Strategy at Dolphin. Working together with our partners to create the features and experiences that our users really want is the kind of integration we strive for, and the Dolphin Browser for iPad is a great example.

Enter Our Swag Giveaway!

To celebrate the integration, we’re giving away two gift packs that include Evernote and Dolphin t-shirts, a Dolphin notebook, and Evernote stickers. We’ll randomly select one person from our community of beta testers who helped polish the integration, and one from those who comment on this blog post. For a chance to win on the blog, please leave a comment by noon February 15th, with the hashtag #Dolphin, and let us know why you like Dolphin.

Here’s what Erin says about her Northern California-inspired avocado tostada recipe, as well as her thoughts on what makes breakfast the best meal of the day.

What was your inspiration for the recipe?
This recipe is inspired by my planned move to California in May. I couldn’t be more ready to be out west and I’m excited about having such great produce – especially avocados! This recipe is inspired by my future state (because I will eat avocados ALL the time!) The tostada is simple to throw together for a hearty breakfast – just be sure to make a couple extras – they will go fast!

Do you have a favorite healthy breakfast?
I love egg skillets. I’ll cook whatever leftover veggies and grains I have in a small cast iron skillet and then top it with an egg or two. It’s a perfect, hearty breakfast and an easy way to use up random items in your refrigerator.

Favorite guilty breakfast?
A Belgian waffle covered with strawberries, maple syrup, and whipped cream. I can only ever eat about half, but it is always so good.

What ranks as your best breakfast spot ever?
When my family traveled down to Costa Rica, we stayed at Blue Jay Lodge in Malpais completely off the beaten path. Every morning the lodge would cook up Gallo Pinto (Costa Rican Black Beans and Rice) with eggs, fried plantains, and fresh coffee. Everything was so fresh and it didn’t hurt that we dined outside to beautiful weather every morning!

Do you have a childhood breakfast memory that stands out in your mind?
On the weekends I would always tag along with my dad as he ran errands, which usually meant we would stop at the local doughnut shop for chocolate long johns and milk. Even though neither of us eat too many doughnuts now, I really enjoyed that time we spent together!

What’s the best bread for toast? Sourdough if I’m out eating, multigrain if it’s homemade!

https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2012/12/20/web-clipper-for-safari-gets-related-results-business-support-and-more/#commentsThu, 20 Dec 2012 20:02:57 +0000http://blog.evernote.com/?p=26195Today, we have an exciting update for our Evernote Web Clipper users on Safari. We’ve added three major new features to the Clipper that make it smarter, more useful and better integrated into your Evernote Business deployment. Let’s take a look.

Related Results

Your Evernote account is packed with goodness but as it grows, you can lose sight of older notes that may help you solve today’s needs. With Related Results, you’ll be able to uncover content from your Evernote account at just the right moment: when you’re performing a Web search.

Searching is the earliest part of information gathering, but oftentimes, the things that you’re looking for may already by saved in your Evernote account. When you enable the Related Results feature on the login screen and preferences of the Web Clipper, the extension will look for notes inside your Evernote account that are related to the content of the results page from Google, Bing, Yahoo!, and numerous other global search engines. When we find Related Results, we present them right alongside your regular search results in the browser.

Evernote Business Support

Evernote Business is our new service designed to meet the needs of small businesses and teams. It lets employees use Evernote for their work lives, and in doing so, build the knowledge of the whole organization. One of the great aspects of Evernote Business is how individuals are able to easily learn about what others in their organization know. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Web Clipper.

As mentioned above, when you perform a Google search, the Web Clipper will present any notes from your account that are related to the search result. If you’re part of an Evernote Business account, then you’ll also see notes from Business Notebooks owned by your colleagues. The same thing happens when you clip a page. Now, not only will you have insight into your own notes, but you’ll also know right away whether someone on your team already has the answer you’re looking for.

Open in Desktop Version

In the Web Clipper options, there is a new option which will open a Related Result or Related Note right in your desktop version of Evernote. On both Windows and Mac, clicking on one of these notes will launch the desktop app with that note in view, making for a fast and easy experience.

More to Come

We’re really excited about this update for Safari. There’s lots more to come. Stay tuned.

https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2012/12/12/evernote-web-clipper-for-chrome-gets-new-related-results-features/#commentsWed, 12 Dec 2012 18:32:24 +0000http://blog.evernote.com/?p=24292The Evernote Web Clipper is amazing at helping your save the things you see online. But that’s not all it’s good for. Recently, our Web Clipper for Chrome got smarter than ever with a completely new Related Results feature that will discover useful content in your Evernote account at exactly the right time. In addition to this feature, we’ve added a bunch of new capabilities you’ll want to check out.

The new Related Results

For many of us, search engines are at the core of our Internet use. They’re the go-to resource for any and all questions we have. And thanks to years of development, search engines are uncanny in their ability to understand what you’re looking for and show you the correct result. Now, Evernote users will start benefiting from all the smarts built into search engines to find memories and notes stored in their Evernote accounts.

When you enable Related Results in the Chrome Web Clipper, either at login or in the extension options, you’ll now see some interesting things pop up alongside your search results in Google, Yahoo!, Bing and other search engines.

Let’s say you type “hiking” into Google. Google will provide you with a set of search results. Meanwhile, Evernote will look at the entire page and feed it into our Related Notes algorithm, then present you with three notes from your Evernote account that are most related to the search results. This gives you a great, unified experience for finding what you need both across the Web and inside of Evernote.

Great for Business
If you have an Evernote Business account, then not only will you see Related Results from your account, but also from your coworkers’ Business notebooks that you have joined or that are in the Business Library.

Open in Evernote on your Desktop

We’ve also made opening notes that show up in the Related Notes section a great experience. In the extension options, choose to open notes in the desktop client. When you click on a note, Evernote desktop will open up with that note in view.

The first time you do this, a popup will appear asking you to confirm that you wish to open an application. Check the checkbox in the popup to make sure that the message doesn’t appear every time.

And More…

We’ve also made the Web Clipper more powerful by broadening the type of content that you can save, along with lots of other behind-the-scenes improvements. If you have the Web Clipper for Chrome installed, the update will happen automatically. Otherwise, go to the Chrome Gallery to install it.

I use Evernote for…Managing my Fantasy Sports Leagues

I first started using Evernote in law school. At the time, it helped me keep my notes in order. Slowly but surely, I started using it more until it became a go-to tool for my professional and personal life. Now, I keep everything in Evernote — from photographs of important documents to transcripts, how-to articles and guides, and items related to my career. Last year, while I was researching draft picks for my fantasy football team, I realized that I could use Evernote as a place to organize all of the information I was finding. Since then, my use of Evernote for fantasy football and fantasy sports, in general, has only grown.

There are a lot of logistics involved in setting up a fantasy sports team and participating in a league. Having everything organized in Evernote helps me stay on top of the most relevant information, keep up with dues and end of season payouts, and capture all the important memories (like the times I beat my friends!).

Evernote for researching your draft picks

Fantasy football is about to heat up and right now everyone is researching their draft picks. During the summer months, team owners are collecting information on injuries, position battles, free agency, and the NFL draft. When the time comes for the draft, each of the 10-12 team owners draft players back and forth until all roster slots are full. Each owner gets about a minute and a half to decide on a player and you must think quickly but choose wisely. Like in the NFL, you want to assemble the best possible roster of players, so it is essential to be prepared weeks before the draft begins.

Team owners continue to manage their rosters post-draft, as transactions on the waiver wire (a pool of players who are not owned in a specific league, but can easily become one of the best players of the season). Pursuing trades with other managers can impact your season just as much as the draft process. As I’m researching players online throughout the summer, I clip everything relevant into Evernote using the Evernote Web Clipper or Evernote Clearly. I take note of any relevant player news or new player rankings. Throughout the season, I’m able to refer to this research to not only help my picks but guide my team’s strategy. It sure beats printing out numerous pages’ worth of rankings and projections! Plus, it’s more productive, so I spend less time sorting and organizing information; I can just get right to it. To help this process, I created a group in my Google Reader to capture fantasy football articles from several websites. This makes it easy to scan the titles and see if there’s anything worth reading all in one location. Any article that I find valuable is starred and directly sent to my Fantasy Football notebook via ifttt. In Evernote, I tag my research depending on the category. Leading up to the draft, most of my notes are tagged under a general “Read Later” tag.

For the day of the draft, I create a master note (i.e. cheat sheet) that includes Note Links to notes with my rankings, projected stats, and list of sleepers (players I believe will have a break out season). As we dive into the season, each week my team plays another team. Once the games get going, I pay attention to how teams and players are performing. Being able to closely monitor player statistics and activity helps me analyze future draft picks. I keep one master note that has players I need to drop from my team, replacements for those players, and trade proposals; I’m continually adding to it.

Evernote and Skitch for managing your season

I like to use Skitch to snap photos of the score at the end of each game. I keep these images in Evernote so I can remind friends who bitterly lost and recall some great times we had (note: for obvious reasons, I do not snap photos of my defeats).

Evernote for dues and ‘office work’

Playing fantasy sports involves a fair amount of administrative work. I use Evernote to keep track of information such as who’s paid their dues and who needs to be paid out at the end of the season. I also capture all emails I receive or compose that relate to league administration. That way, all correspondences are also in one, easy to search place.

Overall, using Evernote for fantasy sports has helped me achieve better results because it has made me more efficient and effective in my preparations, choosing my players, and keeping track of how things progress throughout the season. Evernote allows me to prepare for a fantasy season without spending more time than I need to. Having an archive of past fantasy sports seasons in Evernote also helps me look back at previous seasons and analyze what trade proposals were made, why certain trades went through or were declined, and which players I want to stay away from next season.

Evernote for switching careers

I’m currently in the process of switching careers (from being an attorney to working as a Landman in the oil and gas industry). Evernote has proven to be invaluable for helping me make this transition. I’ve been able to keep track of cover letters, resumes, and research on the different companies I’ve been applying to all in one place. I use Evernote as a relationship manager and made a template that I use for each new professional contact I make.

I keep a master note in my account with Note Links to notes with all of my research. Evernote has also helped me remember where in the interview process I am with different companies, what my impressions are of different companies I’ve applied to, and what I might need to do differently with my resume or cover letter in the future.

Our Web Clipper allows you to save all the great pages and content you find online with a single click. Today, we have a big update to our Safari Web Clipper that makes this process easier and smarter than ever. Here’s what we’ve added.

If you already have the Web Clipper installed, then it will automatically update to the new version.

Smart Filing

I have a bunch of sites that I visit all the time, from Uncrate to Smitten Kitchen to the Onion. When I see something that I want to save, I’ll clip it and organize it using notebooks and tags. This update adds Smart Filing, which automatically suggests destination notebooks and tags for your Web Clips. Of course, if you disagree with the suggestions, you can easily change them. This lets you keep browsing, rather than thinking about how your Web Clips should be organized every time.

Related Notes

Your Evernote account is getting smarter and smarter. Today’s update introduces Related Notes to the Safari Web Clipping experience. Whenever you clip something, Evernote searches for notes that are somehow related to the item you’re clipping, based on a variety of attributes. You’ll see three Related Notes displayed right in the clipper popup immediately after you’ve captured something from the Web. Related Notes are a great way to find connections and rediscover all the things you have in Evernote.

Article detection

The Web Clipper detects the body of the pages you’re clipping so that you don’t have to worry about highlighting and selecting content. We’ve adding a new feature that lets you use your keyboard’s arrow keys to select more or less of the page. No mouse required.

Clip into Shared Notebooks

Working with friends, colleagues and classmates is an important part of the Evernote story. Now, you can use the Safari Web Clipper to help you with group projects by clipping directly into Shared Notebooks. You’ll find the Shared Notebooks listing in the clipping popup’s notebook selection dropdown menu.

Simultaneous Search

Simultaneous Search brings Evernote results into your Web search. After turning it on, searching in Google, Yahoo, Bing, and others will also search inside your Evernote account for matching notes. You’ll be surprised by how often you find the answers you’re looking for inside of your account.

And more

In addition to all these great new features, we also made the Safari Web Clipper faster and more reliable than ever, and added a new options page, which lets you change Clipper settings at any time. Enjoy!

Jeanine’s Stylish Tips for Home Projects

Above: capture inspiration on the Web, using the Evernote Web Clipper. Select tags and notebooks. All of your web clips automatically sync across all of your devices.

I am a huge fan of Evernote. As a textile designer, blogger, and soon-to-be author it’s extremely important for me to be as organized as possible, and Evernote helps me to stay organized at all times. Part of my job is focused on styling. I’ve been styling several interiors for our home decor book, and use Evernote to stay on top of the numerous projects that have to be done for each interior. Evernote is fantastic for:

Keeping track of a list of different projects. Our team spent time shooting and styling interiors in Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC, and Philadelphia. I created a separate notebook for each interior, and then collected a list of items I wanted to bring into each room in the space. Whether a pillow, a new piece of lighting, or flowers, it was all neatly collected in my Evernote notebook.

Evernote is also great way to communicate with others who are involved in your home decor project. For me, it was my styling team. I needed to easily be able to send them the items I was thinking of using in a particular interior. It can be just as handy when sending ideas for your next renovation project to your significant other, designer, and even your contractor. [Evernote Tip: share notes via email or add them to a Shared Notebook, then invite individuals to view what you’ve shared.]

The sync function is also integral to any interior project you’re working on. You can keep track of ideas on your computer, and voila, the project you’re working on is ready and synced on your iPhone. This is fantastic when you’re on a purchasing trip, and need to access your notes quickly. [Learn how Sync works]

The great thing about Evernote for interiors projects is that you can keep absolutely everything on file — measurements, store and contact information, vendor names, and even color palettes. It can all be kept and organized to help you achieve your project goals easily. [Learn how to capture multiple types of media in a single note]

I use Evernote, Everywhere

Having Evernote on my work computer, home computer, iPhone, and iPad makes connecting thoughts and ideas seamless. It also allows me to grab inspiration from anywhere, because you never know when something inspiring might pop up!

I use Evernote for…

Annotated with Skitch

My blog is a place where I can show people the home-related things that inspires me. In total, I’ve been using Evernote for about three years; I started using it to catalog pictures that I took and wanted to add some notes to. Then, a few months ago, I got really busy with work and the blog. I had a new iPhone and I began to evaluate other ways that Evernote could help me with my workload. Since then, I’ve started to use it a lot more often, and it’s become a lifesaver!

You can take inspiration from everywhere and apply it to the smallest things.

The best thing about Evernote is that it helps me catalog virtually anything — websites, contacts, photos, and errant thoughts — nothing slips through the cracks anymore.

For finding home design inspiration

Capture furniture and accent pieces over time. Anytime I visit websites like West Elm, Etsy, or check out antique shops, I use the Web Clipper or Evernote’s snapshot feature on my iPhone to capture images. I’m a very visual person, so it helps to throw everything into Evernote and then look at thumbnails of all of the pieces I’ve captured to see what jumps out at me, what items might fit into my home, and which items would look great together. Often, I don’t find two corresponding items (like a side table and matching lamp) in one outing, so it helps to be able to capture things as I spot them and then see what they look like side by side in Evernote.

Let one idea generate another. I love how Evernote allows me to go down a rabbit hole of ideas, even if they don’t all come to me at the same time. By constantly capturing inspiration for my home into Evernote, I don’t feel the pressure to act on them immediately. When I’m decorating, I’m not looking for something very specific. Often, my ideas are dormant until I’m visually browsing my account and a lightbulb goes off: this is what I’ve been waiting for!

It might be for now, or it might be for later. I clip stuff that I don’t need or might never need, but the beauty of Evernote is that these notes and ideas will always be in my account, and one day they might rise to the occasion. Who knows, maybe someday in the future my mom might mention that she’s looking for a colorful side table and I’ll immediately be able to share my finds in Evernote with her.

Don’t just bucket ideas. Tagging allows me to categorize an idea for different purposes. For example, I might tag something as a gift idea, but it might also make a great addition for the ‘Friday Faves’ feature on my blog. Any note can have multiple purposes.

For work

I freed myself from being chained to my work computer. Now, when I receive emails that I think I might need to respond to after I get home, I simply send them to my Evernote account, where I can review anything work-related later, without actually being in front of my work computer, or logging into my work email. I use the Outlook add-on, which makes sending things to Evernote totally seamless.

I work on the go. Since I work in fashion detail, I’m always looking for new materials. I use Evernote on my iPhone to take in-store photos of clothing labels, and up close photos of material textures. This extends into my personal life, too. I often see things in stores that I like, but want to change. A side effect of working in retail fashion is knowing that you can change and customize everything. I’ll often find myself snapping photos of individual items like tops and accessories so I can see how these items might fit into outfits I already have. I can also snap photos of items and add text saying how I would change the item (i.e.: love this chair but prefer if the arms were lower).

For blogging

Evernote as a visual reminder. I see so many things in a given day or week, and as I’m clicking through a site or my emails, I methodically clip and forward things to my Evernote account, adding tags (one of my favorite features) so I remember to go back and look at things later. I never know if I’ll end up using something on my blog or entertaining, or maybe for work, so certain notes end up being tagged for multiple purposes.

For writing blog posts as a two-step process. Often, blog ideas will come to me throughout the day. No matter where I am, I can quickly type them up in Evernote and finish them later. I’ll write the main gist of an idea, or notes to myself like ‘add a photo of X’ to make the process of finding supporting photos later much easier. The outline eventually becomes my blog post. Approaching my blog writing in this way also helps me revisit posts to re-evaluate how reader-friendly they are.

For creating collages. When I’m creating a collage, I look for similarly-sized items with complementary color characteristics. Seeing a lot at once helps me create collages, making Evernote the perfect starting point. I collect all of my images in Evernote, then head to my photo editing program to create the collage. I then save the finished collage back to Evernote, where I can access it later.

For accessing photos on my iPad. I use Evernote on my iPad when I travel and I love being able to scroll through all of my photos and graphics on it because my photos can be tagged and include my notes, making them easier to find. It makes writing and working on the go much easier!

Evernote for gifting

I have a bad memory and I would often find myself forgetting little things, so I started making a habit of sticking everything in Evernote. My sister-in-law loves French Bulldogs and I recently saw a French Bulldog calendar online, so I clipped it with the Evernote Web Clipper and tagged it with her name. When her birthday was approaching, I did a search in Evernote and found the calendar. If it wasn’t for Evernote, I would have never remembered the idea of giving it to her as a gift.

Evernote for helping you pursue a new hobby.

My Evernote account evolves with me as I take on new projects. I recently started attending floral school; it’s a new hobby and I’ve been using Evernote to help me capture inspiration and lessons.

I use Evernote for…

I came to Akron to run the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. Our customers are charities that in total serve 180,000 people a year. As CEO and a member of the National Committee of Food Bankers, I get hundreds of emails a day and travel frequently. Evernote is with me every step of the way:

Evernote as a replacement for flagging emails for followup and tasks: I forward emails for followup to my Evernote account and tag them all appropriately. My assistant, who also uses Evernote, also sends important emails and reminders straight to my Evernote account. Evernote is my hub. I just watch the stream and tag things as they come in. [Learn how to send emails to your Evernote account]

For keeping documents in sync: I save documents in Evernote. I travel regularly for work and often have to review documents on the go. I forward all of my emails with document attachments to Evernote and mark them up on my iPad on the plane.

For capturing inspiration in the community: I’m always taking pictures with Evernote on my iPhone. If I’m out in the community and I see something that might help us enhance our brand and promote our message, I snap a photo of it.

For tracking the cycle time of a project: I’ll take a document that an employee is working on, date it, put my initials on it and then snap a photo of it. I’ll wait to see where it ultimately lands in the file and pull up the picture I snapped to see how long it took for the document to get finalized.

For audio notes and reminders: I take notes in all kinds of places, with whatever device I have on hand. Even when I’m driving, I’ll pull up Evernote on my phone and record a voice memo.

For juggling multiple action items, on the go: For me, one of the best features of Evernote is the sync and the way that all of the apps work together so well across my various devices. It’s the most seamless multi-platform interface I’ve seen and makes Evernote an invaluable tool for any multi-tasking CEO or manager.

Evernote as an expression of your work style

I’ve noticed that the more I’ve been using Evernote, the more it’s become a reflection of my management style. I can see how I interact with people, the processes that I implement, and how I see a project come to fruition. That’s a pretty unique thing to be able to see in such a visual way.

Are you a manager or CEO? How are you using Evernote to tackle your day-to-day?

How it works

The Web Clipper is designed to help you save all the great web pages and content that you come across on a daily basis. Whenever you see something you like (a recipe, research topic, travel destination), click on the Web Clipper in your toolbar and you’ll have the content of the page saved forever.

There are three options clipping options for the Safari Web Clipper:

Click the clipper when you’re viewing an interesting article, and the clipper will automatically highlight the body of the page. A popup will appear, which allows you to choose your destination notebook and some tags.

Highlight the parts of the page that you like, then click on the elephant. The Web Clipper will send just what you selected—text, images, link, and all— into your Evernote account. You can also do this by selecting an area of the page, right clicking, and choosing Clip selection to Evernote. This method will clip in the background without a popup.

Full page clip
Click the clipper without making a selection, then choose Full page from the clip option drop down. This will place all of the content from the page into your Evernote account. Be aware, that there’s a lot of stuff on a page that you might not want, such as navigation and styles. Take that into account before using the full page option.

Your personal best of list

Whenever you visit a site that you clip from often, you can click the Web Clipper to see a list of everything you’ve ever saved from that site. To access this Best of click on the domain name that appears at the bottom of the clipper popup.

You can also view and search through all of the notes in your Evernote account right from the clipper popup.

Things to keep in mind

Due to changes in how Safari Extensions function, we can no longer support the clip to PDF option.

All clips are sent to Evernote Web and then synced to your desktop and mobile devices.

We’re excited to have a native clipping experience on Safari. If you were using a Beta version of the extension, please uninstall and reinstall from the extension gallery. For those using the bookmarklet, we recommended switching to the new extension. Happy clipping!
